SIBI-P1 Translation H2498-20
he passes on
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular expresses a simple active action: "he passes" or "he moves on." "He passes on" preserves the core root idea of movement or transition without imposing contextual nuance such as renewal or succession. |
